Archive Your Media Files

After you have installed the Ning Network Archiver, you can download your content as a .json file. Initially, this file will be downloaded with internet links to your media files (such as photos, videos, and music). If you’d like to download the media files associated with one of the features of your Ning Network to your computer, you can do so by clicking on “Download Media Files” after you have downloaded the original .json file for that feature.

Keep in mind that these media files may be large, and can take up significant storage space. If you have a large number of media files, you will need to leave ample time to download these files. You may also want to consider using an external hard drive as the storage location for these media files.

After you have downloaded these media files, they will be automatically saved in folders on your computer. You will also have a new .json file saved with the file ending “-local.” This .json file will point to the media file locations on your computer, rather than the internet destinations in your original .json file.
